months.Can they create the Holy Warriors needed to prevent the demon-spawned
abominations from destroying the world?Satan has found a loophole in the
rules that govern his battle against Good. The Archangel Uriel sends twelve
elite Warrior Archangels to Earth on a mission to even the odds against the
demon-spawned abominations being produced.Each Archangel has one month to
find two people, unite them in love, and use their union's power to create the
Holy Warriors needed to defend the world against Satan's unholy creations. And
they have to do it while staying out of the demons' clutches.But the mission
isn't so simple when inheriting Humanity comes with challenges beyond the
Angel's training, and every milestone in the couple's relationship affects the
triumvirate's strength. Who knew headaches and PMS could be such a pain in the
ass?Summon Kassern:How can Archangel Kassern get the World's Most
Unlikely Couple - a preacher and a stripper - to fall in love and help him form
the Holy Warrior? He's too busy dealing with annoying human traits he picks up
along the way. Since when do archangels get hungry?Desperate to save her
best friend, Karly, and herself from a life of prostitution, Devyn takes a
chance when the preacher, Troy, offers escape. But someone offers Karly's
boyfriend big money, and he can't let them go without a fight. Called by God
to minister to prostitutes, Troy is careful not to get too close to his flock,
though some of them would like to get close to him. Sworn to celibacy, he isn't
even tempted, until he saves Devyn from an attacker and becomes embroiled in her
desperate life.Can Kassern keep them all safe from Karly's psycho ex and
whichever demon horde is onto their scent at the moment? Especially with the
train wreck that is Karly along for the ride? Or will his new humanity put them
all in even more danger?Summon DornPerfectionist Archangel Dorn
confidently steps forward to form the second team in the Archangels' Holy
Warrior plan. Things go wrong from the beginning, but having Kassern witness his
mistakes is worse than being teased for choosing a nun as his human partner.
Fortunately, Archangels can learn from their mistakes.Jessie has the
unfortunate habit of making a fool of herself whenever a good looking man is
nearby. Devastatingly handsome Lucian seems able to look beyond that and puts
her at ease right away, but is he as good as he looks?After a lifetime of
pain, Lucian's heart is a closed door and he permits no one a peek inside, but
Jessie blows the locks away. Will she cause him even more pain?Dutifully
heading to the convent, Sally falls into a vipers' pit of evil. With no hope of
rescue, she sets out to destroy the horror on her own, even if it means her
death.Can Dorn put everything right again and snatch them all from the jaws
of the most devastating evil to ever stalk the earth?Kassern and Dorn
have finished forming their triumvirates—oh wait, back up a minute—make that
QUADumvirates. Kassern had some difficulty dealing with his new human appetites
and ended up taking a wife. Commander Uriel has determined Kassern’s
indiscretion upset the entire power balance. The only solution is for all the
archangels to find wives.And now it’s Toren’s turn. The formula: find
his couple, unite them, then join with his own selected wife. But true to his
mercurial nature, Toren does things his own way. In this instance,
reverse.With his sights set on a lady rancher, he has his hands full
studying to be a cowboy and hog-tying demons before he finds his human couple.
Once he does, he’s saddled with a Rodeo Queen that thinks all men are from the
devil and an arrogant foreign soldier that seems determined to prove her right.
All that’s left is to get them to fall in love without killing each other before
all hell breaks loose.He better pray for a miracle.*explicit sex,
